Kimedashi
What is Kimedashi?
Kimedashi is a sumo wrestling technique where a wrestler forces their opponent out of the ring by immobilizing their arms. Specifically, the attacking wrestler grasps their opponent's arms from the outside, typically by locking their hands around the opponent's upper arms or shoulders, and then uses this grip to control and push the opponent backward out of the dohyo (sumo ring). This technique requires both strength and precision to effectively neutralize the opponent's ability to counter-attack or escape. Kimedashi is a display of both power and technical skill in sumo wrestling.

We must remember that regardless of our differences in rank we are all equal as human beings. You can always tell how caring and compassionate others are in their actions towards those "below" them. Of course you are going to treat your black belt professor kindly, but how do you treat the white belt taking their first class? In spite of the division in belt rank there must be no division as people.
